From: John Celio Jeeze. Bourne is pretty famous. I thought more people here knew of the guy and might appreciate knowing how he treats people who disagree with him.

How the hell do you get followers if you never post? Don't these people

I probably shouldn't be asking that question here...

If any of you follow Scott Bourne on Twitter or elsewhere, I would like to suggest ignoring that egotistical jackass from now on. Who the hell is Scott Bourne? He can block me too if that helps with his therapy! Sorry, should have explained. He's a pro photographer, runs photofocus.com and writes a lot of photography technique-related stuff on the web. I incorrectly assumed others here would have heard of him. He's got a lot of readers and sometimes gives away cameras via Twitter, and I found out about him through other people's blogs. Had I known what a pretentious dick he is, however, I never would have bothered with him. Anyway, sorry to have baffled anyone.

Re: Scott Bourne's Ego
From: David Savage Isn't Twitterer'ing all about ego anyway? I thought it was like AOL Instant Messaging for cell phones. 2010/1/24 John Celio n...@neovenator.com: If any of you follow Scott Bourne on Twitter or elsewhere, I would like to suggest ignoring that egotistical jackass from now on. Earlier this evening he posted something negative about people who shoot weddings for cheap. ?When I, and quite a few others from what I've seen in searching around Twitter, disagreed with him, he blocked us all. Then he proceeded to publicly call us trolls. ?Just for disagreeing with him! When I wrote him an email, he called me lazy and untallented and accused me of whoring myself out, all because I said I had shot for low-income families and therefore thought my low rate was appropriate. According to other twitterers, this is a common response from the guy. Regardless of what you think about people who shoot for cheap, this is not professional (or just plain polite!) conduct for a so-called professional. I don't think Scott Bourne deserves any more attention from Twitterers or photographers in general. To bad the guy's got you blocked or you could ask him how he manages to see through the viewfinder with his head stuck so far up his ass (or arse for those of you on the other side of the pond).

Re: Scott Bourne's Ego
Well, I've heard of him. I even subscribed to his blog because he has a few useful posts from time to time. I'll probably re-think that given his treatment of you.

Scott Bourne's Ego
If any of you follow Scott Bourne on Twitter or elsewhere, I would like to suggest ignoring that egotistical jackass from now on. Earlier this evening he posted something negative about people who shoot weddings for cheap. When I, and quite a few others from what I've seen in searching around Twitter, disagreed with him, he blocked us all. Then he proceeded to publicly call us trolls. Just for disagreeing with him! When I wrote him an email, he called me lazy and untallented and accused me of whoring myself out, all because I said I had shot for low-income families and therefore thought my low rate was appropriate. According to other twitterers, this is a common response from the guy. Regardless of what you think about people who shoot for cheap, this is not professional (or just plain polite!) conduct for a so-called professional. I don't think Scott Bourne deserves any more attention from Twitterers or photographers in general.

It can be useful. When I worked the auto show for the NY Times, they were using
it to update info from press conferences and the like while in progress. It's
easier than e-mailing a whole list, and it's accessible to a wide range of
people. The editors asked me to provide Twitter updates on a regular basis on
my assigned events and pressers/ So I got paid for tweeting. That was a good
thing.
